Alligators sunbathe at Myakka River State Park

If you want to see alligators, one of the best spots in the entire state is not far from Sarasota. But only a few people each day are allowed to make the trek. The gators gather around what's called the 'Deep Hole' sinkhole, which is a 200-foot-wide, 130- to 140-foot-deep pool at Myakka River State Park.
